St Paul’s is situated in a beautifully converted church on Dock Street. The nursery is located within walking distance of Aldgate East and Tower Hill underground stations, Tower Gateway (DLR) and Liverpool and Fenchurch Street mainline stations, making the nursery an ideal location for commuters and local residents.

The building has recently undergone a significant refurbishment which has helped to create a vibrant and spacious environment for children to explore and engage in free flow activities. Children participate in daily walks and explore their local community, visiting Swedenborg Park, the Docks and a nearby playground.

I have had dealings with the nursery on behalf of my sister whose child attends the nursery.
I don't have any children myself but seeing how much my nephew enjoys his time here with all the different activities I would definitely recommend and send my own children here.
Staff, especially senior management,
are very accommodating, in fact all the staff are obviously well co-ordinated.

I have had a wonderful experience with St Paul’s Nursery. All the staff are very lovely and welcoming. In particular, one member of staff has exceptional manners, not only in her role but also as a person. Her kindness and consideration have solidified my eagerness to make this review. Her feedback
and advice given have been so helpful. Whenever a query or concern has occurred, the manager has always been accommodating to my needs. My nephew thoroughly enjoys his time at the nursery, always complimentary about the staff and this is reflected in his boost in confidence and his eagerness to show us what he has learnt during the day. I am confident with the care my nephew receives at St Paul’s Nursery.

As a mother, you are always worried if your child is being attended to and taken care of well. With St Paul Dock Street Nursery I do not have to worry. All the caretakers are so pleasant and my daughter enjoys going to the nursery every day.

Our daughter has been going to the nursery since she was only 4 months old and is now almost 2 years old. We have always been absolutely thrilled with the quality of the staff, activities and food on site. All kids, ours included, are very excited to start each day there and come out very happy. There
are appropriate age groups and everyone is lovely as can be. The only downside for me is for parents not to have daily pictures/videos of the kids, otherwise definitely an amazing experience.

I look after a little girl that attends St Paul's Nursery. She always talks about the staff and how much fun she as at the nursery. When I pick her up the management team are very friendly and helpful they really are a lovely team always makes me feel welcome whenever I do drop off/pick up. The staff
at pick up time always give great feedback about what activities they have engaged in on the day, I have to say the activities that they provide are brilliant. The food menus are great too and all the food is freshly prepared at the nursery. I would recommend this beautiful nursery.

St. Paul's Nursery provides a safe and secure environment for children and offers a great early years experience. The carers are friendly, approachable and bond well with children. The management team is very professional. Extremely likely to recommend St. Paul's Nursery.

This is a fantastic nursery. After my eldest attended here 2017-2019 there was nowhere else I wanted my youngest to go and I was thrilled she got a place. The best thing about this nursery is the staff. They are committed, friendly, knowledgeable and just so kind and welcoming to the children. I feel
totally happy and secure leaving my daughter with them knowing she will have a great time, be well looked after and stimulated. Her talking and development have come on leaps and bounds since being at St Paul’s. I know she is being given a chance to chat, to play and to explore her surroundings. I couldn’t recommend this nursery more highly.

Our little one has settled really well in the nursery. The staff have made us feel welcome from day 1 and are very engaged in the kids’ wellbeing through the offering of different activities and food.
She comes home very happy about what she’s done and enjoys her time there.
Competitive prices, very
nice staff and structure and long hours available, I would definitely recommend the nursery.

We are satisfied with the nursery. The staff are very caring and warm. The facility is a repurposed church so the ceiling inside is incredibly high which is a good point. I guess the only point that would have been good in my opinion is better outside space. I would highly recommend this nursery.

We started recently at this nursery and we are very happy as we really felt welcome.
This is our 3rd child and our other two were in another nursery so we had strong expectations. All were fulfilled and our daughter really enjoys St Paul's Nursery and the staff, who are really nice. I will definitely
continue to recommend it to our friends.

I had to drop my nephew at St Paul's Nursery the other day as his parents had to work long shifts. I have never seen a child as excited as my nephew to attend the nursery. He kept praising the nursery and the staff through the journey. He mentioned about different activities and his friends at St Paul's
Nursery. I’m so glad that my nephew attends this nursery as this is a fantastic start for his life. I would like to say thank you to the staff and the management for an amazing job.

Great place for kids. The staff are really friendly and know how to cater to each child's needs. Outstanding service in my opinion! The management is great always there for both kids and parents. Safeguarding kids is at the forefront of everything they do. They provide exceptional nutritional food catering
for my child's peanut allergy and learning is centered around everything. Facilities are very good with all safety being met.

I can't thank the management team and staff at St Paul's Nursery enough for their hard work and the amazing care they give to the children. The team are helpful and supportive in every aspect. I was a little dubious sending my child back after lockdown but was super impressed with all the policies and
protocols put in place which made me feel at ease. The manager is always contacted and a pleasure to speak to. Daily activities, daily feedback and the food menu's are a big hit with us. I can't recommend St Paul's Nursery enough to anyone that is looking for a placement for their children. The location is very good too.

My nephew went back to the nursery after the lockdown period.
I was very impressed with the protocols put in place not only for the safety of the children but also for the peace of mind for the parents.
It's obviously very worrying times so all the protocols have been very reassuring.
Management
took their time to explain and give solace with care and compassion but also keeping very professional. The deputy manager also came across very professional and efficient again all giving me and no doubt many other parents that I have spoken to confidence that our children are in safe hands. Well done team keep up the good work. And thank you.

Excellent location on the main road. Presentable and clean atmosphere. The team at the nursery is fantastic and friendly. Very helpful and will highly recommend this nursery to anyone looking for a place locally.
Walking distance to Aldgate station and Tower Hill station. A supermarket and other local

Wonderful Nursery! My son is attending since July and is well cared for, stimulated and supported.
He started at 9months old and in the middle of Covid crises and as hard as it can be leaving our kid, we were reassured, thanks to the staff's positive and welcoming attitude. We never once worried he
wouldn't have the best day.
Thanks to everyone from the top down for taking such good care of our son.

Current Review Score: 9.4 (9.390)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.4 (9.390) out of 10 for St Paul's Nursery is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 11 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.5 out of 5 from 11 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Day Nursery is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.932 for St Paul's Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (124 Excellents x 5) + (7 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 132 Ratings = 4.932
  2. 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5'). The 4.458 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for St Paul's Nursery is based on 11 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4
    2. 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the number of registered child places in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Day Nursery registered for a maximum of 50 child places has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 120 number of registered child places is 24. 11 Positive Reviews ÷ 24 = 0.458
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Day Nursery does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
